@bluenotebob organised the 2023 version of this challenge but won't be doing it in 2024 so I am putting the new thread up this time. I will copy, paste and edit his post from last year...
Do a minimum of three outdoor rides per week for each week of the year. Indoor rides do not qualify.
Each ride to last a minimum of 30 minutes. It’s preferable that each of the three rides takes place on a different day of the week – but that’s not mandatory (two rides on the same day will qualify – but they must be distinctly separate rides.).
Try and post in this thread at least once a week if you can – ride details to include week#, ride#, day, length of time on the bike – plus a ride description (if you want). Photos welcome!
Week 1 starts on Monday 1st January 2024 and runs to Sunday 7th January. Each week will run from Monday to Sunday (so Week 2 will be 8th January to 14th January – and Week 52 from 23rd December to 29th December**).
Start by posting your Week 1 rides below … and good luck!
PS Obviously, the aim is to do the full 52 weeks, but if for some reason you can't, please carry on and complete as many weeks as you can, then come back next year and try to at least beat that number. I anticipated missing a few weeks in 2023 so I kept a count of my successful weeks, thinking it would end up as something like 49/52 by year end. I did actually manage to finish on 52/52 by riding in drizzle on December 31st!
[** The 2025 challenge might actually start at the end of 2024, on 30th December. The alternative would be to allow 2 extra days for the final week of 2024, but that would mean a 5 day first week in 2025, which would add pressure. We can decide on what to do nearer the time.]
